From manufacturing to energy, education to disaster response, robotics is advancing out of laboratories and making a difference. The DC Robotics Group is excited to welcome three leaders to share their perspectives on robotics, its impact, and its future in the areas of manufacturing, search and rescue, and STEM education. This is a unique opportunity to hear from innovators making an impact with robotics every day. Our speakers are:

• Professor S.K. Gupta, NSF Program Director and Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Maryland

Very enthusiastic talks, where Dr. Gupta covered the latest in manufacturing robots, and Don gave an energetic pitch on getting involved using robots to change the lives of our up and coming younger generation!

The D.C. Robotics Group is the premier community organization for the advancement of robotics in the Washington, D.C. metro area. We promote robotics as a vehicle for innovation, learning, and improving quality of life.

Our core values are:

EDUCATION: we are a source for STEM-oriented robotics education open to everyone, from artists to engineers, children to retirees.

COMMUNITY: we are a unifying force for open source development in the D.C. metro area.

COLLABORATION: we foster partnerships at an individual and organizational level that lead to innovations in robotics technology and how it is applied to everyday life.

Imagine having a community behind you

I decided to start Reno Motorcycle Riders Group because I wanted to be part of a group of people who enjoyed my passion... I was excited and nervous. Our group has grown by leaps and bounds. I never thought it would be this big.
